Inside the Real West Wing

Updated: August 22, 2006.

Here's the floorplan of the real West Wing of the White House, where everyone is just a few steps away from the Oval Office.

The two greatest indicators of status are the offices' proximity to the president and the quality of their view. Exterior offices with windows, especially on corners, are considered the most desirable. But here in the West Wing, even an office on the ground floor means you're at the pinnacle of power. Not shown on the map, but listed below, are offices in the ground floor and "lower press" areas.
